I like the family dinners, but nothing in the side we have points to it but we do have a bar scene with Amber and Bob and the dinner where Sarah meets Mark's friends, maybe they are re-hiring the same guest stars, good way to cut down on spoilers leaking.

Speaking of side, we still haven't gotten any for the season final, maybe all the action just involves the main cast?

Any scoop on the best show nobody’s watching, you know, PARENTHOOD? — Dave
The TV Addict: This just in, there is a downside to success. Especially when the much-deserved notoriety Adam and Crosby are earning for restoring the luncheonette into a state-of-the-art recording studio brings with it a life-changing offer that the twosome may-or-may-not be able to refuse.

I'm thinking having to pay for Haddie's school is the reason Adam wants (or is more inclined) to sell but while this might be good for the short term I'm not sure how it will be in the long run. He'll be back to square one looking for work. I guess it depends how much they are finally offered. I think in the end they won't sell but that might play out in the season final.

So there are basically only two options. Cyrah will break up in the last episde which will be not only rushed but it will be completely a waste of Sarah´s year storyline, which I would hate so much. Or they will stay together but the show ends, which I would also hate.

There´s still the option that the pilot won´t be picked up for the serie but still, the writers have to end the season without knowing this info, so it won´t change anything for us in the future.

I don't like either of your scenarios, either. WEll, the third one, as we all thought of, is letting something happen to Mark. Which will suck as well.

yeah, and think of the Erika´s tweet about crying 5 time during reading the script.
It can be still worse, Sarah will end in a bad place in the finale AND THEN we´ll find out that the show is not getting another season.

Pilot order doesn't mean series pickup, so if they're smart they will leave the door open as far as Mark is concerned. IMO, they should keep Cyrah together through this season and then break them up IF the new show gets ordered to series. Doesn't mean that is what will happen though. I'm very curious to see the sides for the season finale.
